Product Description

The 7EX477.50-2 enables robust remote I/O connectivity in automated equipment through an isolated RS485 interface. As an intelligent bus controller, it brings versatile topology support, streamlined integration, and rugged construction to industrial communication architectures. This module is built around a dedicated remote I/O controller chip supporting advanced serial transfer protocols. The integrated RS485 transceiver enables networked operation of distributed I/O stations, motor controllers, sensor arrays, valve manifolds, and other remote assets.

Electrical isolation protects against ground loops and noise for reliable long-distance communication over twisted pair cables. Data rates up to 187.5 kbps suit many real-time device integration applications. Fail-safe features ensure continued I/O functionality when communication faults occur. Hardened for industrial environments, the 7EX477.50-2 has a 10 to 30 VDC operating range meeting automation power budgets. Locking connectors, conformal coating, and metal shielding maintain signal integrity in noisy conditions. Weighing 1.32 lbs, it takes up minimal space in cabinets.

Released in 2003, this bus controller carries global certifications including CE, UKCA, and UL/cUL. Meeting rigorous safety and EMI/EMC requirements, it enables compliant machinery installations. Generous MTBF rates coupled with hot swap ability ensure exceptional service life. Onboard diagnostics include LED indicators to provide quick visual checks of module health, communications status, and remote I/O functionality. These simplify troubleshooting, ultimately reducing mean downtime and costs. With its isolated bus interconnectivity and rugged construction, the proven 7EX477.50-2 allows system designers to consolidate distributed assets into unified architectures. This empowers intelligent machine builds.
